A nice basic introduction to Jung's life and thinking. Recommended - although Frieda Fordham's 1953 classic, approved by the old man himself, might be more fruitful to the serious starter-student.

Very accessible introduction to Jung, his work, and analysis style

[London Hall · Rating 3 out of 5]

A great introduction into Jung’s overall thought process and life. I felt inspired by his creation of a castle off a nearby lake to his childhood home. Upon some light research Jung designed and actively participated in the physical work toward its completion. With a well for water and wood nearby for heat it was finished. That was beautiful. Something that can still be done today with a smart location off a river and the efforts. He also was heavily into dream journaling and understanding which was cool.
